Short-term effect of humming on vocal quality
Humming is a conservative voice therapy technique used to facilitate easy and efficient natural voice production. It is a technique used in treating voice disorders due to vocal hyperfunction, vocal abuses and/or misuses. However, few efficacy studies of humming are available in the literature. The present study was a prospective study which set out to investigate the changes in vocal quality demonstrated by eight female subjects with hyper funct…
Limitations of perturbation measures in clinical acoustic voice analysis
Acoustic analysis is regarded as an objective, reliable and non-invasive tool in voice measurement. Recently, acoustic voice analysis has become popular in clinical situations because the instrumentation is becoming more user-friendly and more affordable due to advances in digital signal processing technology. A variety of commercial acoustic analysis systems are available today. The majority of these systems have incorporated the most common per…
Current issues in the use of volunteers in aphasia therapy
The use of volunteers in aphasia therapy has always been controversial. Studies examining the efficacy of therapeutic programmes provided by speech pathologists and volunteers have not always identified differences between the two groups of therapy provider. This paper examines previous efficacy papers from a methodological perspective and discusses the preliminary outcomes of two volunteer programmes conducted in Australia. It discusses the use …
Patterns of grammatical disruption in Cantonese aphasic subjects
Studies of agrammatism usually rely on selecting 'agrammatic' speakers by using a pre-determined definition. The grammatical disruptions demonstrated by these selected subjects are then examined and accepted as the basis for identifying further agrammatic subjects. Such an approach is not only tautologous but also entails a certain degree of subjectivity in identifying agrammatism in the first place. Subjects who do not fit in well with the pre-s…
